Crowdsourcing

• Outsourcing jobs to the whole web

community

• Harvest the society's whole wisdom, skill

or creativity for solving a single task

“the new pool of cheap labor”

VGI in Web 2.0 applications

• Infrastructures and technologies to

manage, organize and display huge

amounts of users and data

• Specialized hardware

• High update interval

• Good example: OSM

Upgrading Social Networks to

Socio-Geographic Networks

- Evolution of Social Networks

- Forum – discuss

- User generated content – share

- Who knows whom, groups – network

- Next step: requesting (Sensor) content –

gather information

Upgrading Social Networks to

Socio-Geographic Networks

• Add request, forwarding, searching and

delivering methods

• Add sensor attributes

• Add Impact area

The vision

• A generic sensor data request application to establish a worldwide public human sensor network

• Sensor data is a significant part of everyone's opinion and decision making process, because data inside a system of meaning becomes information, and information inside a larger context construct knowledge – freely adapted by Chrisman

The vision – Data

• Open

– combine human sensor data with data from

authorities

– safe

• Real-time

• Privacy

• Personalized Networking

Human observation service

• Funded by EU Genesis project

• Pilot areas for water and air quality

• Human observation service, a web user

interface as SOS frontage

Simple

Providers of VGI may be amateurs in the

field of sensor networks and/or web

applications

• Entire SOS business logic hidden

• Straight forward user interface

• Hints

Familiar

A familiar workspace lightens user

interactions and enables a stronger

connection between applications and users

Together

As soon as participants of a project see

themselves as part of a big picture, they

should become motivated even more.

languages, change look without

programming experience

• To be published as open source project at
